From a credible source... Galland purchased 5 Nova LFS 22-xxx from STM few weeks ago:
22-225; 22-227; 22-248; 22-253; 22-298.

I do not understand this move as I was told they lost the contract for the parking shuttle in Mont-Tremblant recently, so they retired their 3 remaining Classic buses.
Can I make a suggestion here?
This topic was meant for RETIRED 22-xx buses. It ended up as a "bus in service" thread instead over the time... It would be a smart move to start another page for 22-xxx buses in service or rename this thread...
😉

All 3 remaining Classics (727, 729 and 733) were definitly removed from service in august and mid october. If I'm correct and the STO has also retired the remaining 10 ex Calgary Transit units, then that's it for the Classic era in Quebec !!!
🙁

The ex La Québécoise bus was purchased (not leased) and will be kept as a spare bus. Only the two leased bus (Ex Houston demo) will or have been be returned to Nova, since the brand new 2015 LFS are now in service.

I don't know if this will answer your question but... on the Grande West Transportation VIN plates, it is easy to tell if the model is a 27.5 or 30 feet chassis:
2G9B27AA = 27.5 feet
2G9B30AA = 30 feet
The only thing that we then need to know, is if the bus has been equipped with one or two doors.

Sorry, I don't have photos of STO's Classics from Calgary at this time... And yes, the real year of a vehicle (including buses) is determined by the 10th digit of the VIN, not the date it was built. M=1991 and N=1992... This is why two buses were incorrectly identified as 1991's.
